After a 166-day partisan political struggle in the U.S.
Senate to confirm the first Black American woman to be the attorney general of the United States, finally on the afternoon of April 23, history was made. Loretta Elizabeth Lynch has now been confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 56 to 43 after being nominated last year by President Barack Obama.
I have known the Lynch family for a long time in Durham, N.C., where Loretta Lynch’s father, the Rev.
Lorenzo Lynch Sr., served faithfully as the Senior Pastor of the legendary White Rock Baptist Church from 1965 to 1993. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave one his famous sermons in 1960 at the White Rock Baptist Church titled, “Fill Up the Jails,” that encouraged nonviolent civil disobedience as the strategic tactic to advance civil rights.
